Re: Am I wrong on Panny 14-45?

Thank you Eric, it sounds you have the answer.

Every bit of dark green foliage (in many parts of the image) is blurred.

Those were the mysterious to me.

This is not an optical problem. (or the all parts of the image would be affected)

This is an image processing problem.

But it is a SOOC jpg, as said had NR=0. As per my testing (under reasonable lighting condition) basically is close to NR=-5 but less noise. I keep the setting on all of my Pannys without problem as bad as this time.

I think the there is very little detail in the shadows because of the underexposure, and the JPEG conversion made it worse by reducing the dynamic range. On top of that there some noise reduction may be contibuting to lack of detail.

The underexposed green foliage makes up a big portion of the image, and so this is now very vissible.

Something likely had happened. If so, I might have also misunderstood the 12~32 under poor lighting condition.

Thank you for your head up.

My HDR merges always work significantly better when I start from raw images.
